I believe the mazdaspeed are rubber. Just stiffer than stock rubber. I'd go with the energy suspension kit.

Energy is best I believe. They said the black bushings are impregnated with grafite. So that will help cut down on squeaky suspension.

That sold me on energy.

I have energy suspension bushing on my car right now. IT made a huge difference and the installation was time consuming and if you don't have a press it can be hard. I payed 150 which is wayy too much. But it was worth every penny of it.
